It is important that the government announces a fiscal consolidation programme that includes both expenditure cuts and tax increases. While expenditure cuts will hit hard the low income group the burden of tax increases will be paid mostly by the high income group.

Is there a difference with 1968 when there was at least some prosperity as long as you new your place so to speak. Now even if you dont want to push social change you are confronted with it; even if you were the most conservative of persons. Thats a bit more flammable IMHO. Political Economics back with a bang I think. I agree with Kevin on the importance of this.
